For the Love of Travel is an amazing travel group started by my friend Tara that plans out weekend getaways with the travel group. What could be better than a weekend away in Paso Robles Wine Tasting?

Nothing is right. It was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time and the best part was meeting new friends. The weekender trips have the itinerary including meals planned out for the group, so it made getting to connect with one another that much more fun. The convenience of also having everything planned out was a huge plus. I’ve added a video from the weekend, xoxo:

With an intent to stay true to myself, I choose to post outfits of inspiration that are not found at retail stores. I love 70s style, late 60’s and find that I am constantly dressing in that style. Usually thrifted, sometimes found on ebay, I just want to remind ya’ll that you don’t need to spend a million dollars on an outfit and that brands do make beautiful clothes but sometimes your best outfits can be found 2nd hand.

Keep a lookout on my recommendations for flea markets in the LA area next week, can’t wait to share my favorite spots with you <3

“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” – RUMI

I was always a bit envious of those who could achieve that “peace of mind.” It seems silly to say, but I wanted to do or try anything that would help me to achieve that goal. Ultimately, I achieved peace of mind through yoga, and have become stronger both mentally and physically.

Free People Movement held an amazing event that inspired people to get outdoors. A hike by REI and yoga flow by Core Power, they brought together over 150 people in Griffith Park to share 1 thing: the love for movement and being active.

I’m no yogi or do I name myself to be, but I love that Free People inspired this many of us to come practice together in the great outdoors. Yoga helps me to focus on one thing at a time during the practice which I therefore carry outside of my practice. Each time I complete a yoga class, I feel more mindful of all my actions during and therefore following. Yoga helps me slow down and set my intentions, helping me feel calm and clear minded. Thank you Free People for this opportunity, this chance to feel the power of movement through yoga.

Special thank you to Core Power, REI, Sweet Leaf, and Sun Life Organics!

Without a doubt, the one thing that can bring people together is music. No matter their age, background, income level, sexual preference; the one thing that can definitely connect us all together is music. It has been a huge part of my life, especially seeing live shows in LA given the number of artists who travel to this town to perform. As a teenager, it was a huge privilege to go to shows and it was something I never took for granted. I remember the first rock concert I ever attended. It was at the Wiltern to see the Used (with opener Saosin- Yes, I was that girl, weren’t we all?).

Since then? Nothing’s changed. I love going to shows so much because you get to actually hear and feel the music live, not to mention, be with others who love the same music as well. It’s the whole sensory package, to be with the crowd, to hear the music live and not just a played back audio file. It’s a beautiful thing to be in a room full of people singing the same song, it’s magic.

That being said, Red Bull’s 30 Day’s in LA brings 30 nights of music to different venues all across Los Angeles. Hand’s down one of the coolest things Red Bull has done in LA has to be this. It’s a huge ode to one of the music capitals of the world and it’s one of the coolest ways to bring people together and introduce them to new music. Sylvan Esso killed it, and Race Banyon is on my favorites list after he played a killer set before Sylvan Esso.

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.” C.S. Lewis

Without a doubt, change has been the most powerful element in my life as of the last year. I look back on all the changes that have occurred in my life and can’t believe how much has changed, especially the people that have come in and out of my life. I always wondered if it was me who changed, or perhaps it was them? Friends, lovers, or whatever the case was, I realize we both changed over time. Nothing happens overnight. It’s good to accept change, and move forward from it and not dwell on things we can’t control. It’s nice to find peace in knowing that change is possible though, and it can be a very good thing. People can change, outcomes can change, the weather changes.
